Women are not small men - Dr Stacy Sims


Listen Later

LISTENER: There were some pre production audio issues. Apologies for this. Please stick with the podcast as the sound quality improves during the conversation.
 
The name Dr Stacy Sims is probably familiar to many of you, especially if you are a female. She's written two very popular books. Her first was ROAR in 2016 (recently updated and revised). Her second book, Next Level, is about kicking ass and crushing goals through menopause, and was published in 2022. As a result of these two books and her public speaking, Stacy has become associated with phrases such as "women are not small men”, and "lift heavy shit". Thanks to those of you who sent in questions for Stacy. 
 
Much of today's conversation is based around those, and the show is broken down into 4 key areas:
 
  • Exercise - specifically zone 2 and HIT for females
  • Nutrition - fasting, some interesting guidance around protein, and following the same diets as male partners
  • Strength training - developing the right technique so you can lift heavy shit, plyometrics
  • Menopause - weight gain, HRT
  •  
    Dr Sims has a lot of great ideas for you, so please listen carefully and do take notes. If you don’t already follow Dr Stacy Sims, these are the best places to keep up to date:

    This is a TEDx Talk that Stacy gave on the topic of Women are NOT small men. It’s definitely worth a listen. In the show we discussed RED-S (Relative Energy in Sport). 
     
     
    Stacy also recommended the following books:
    The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires (a kids book but the messaging is oh so good!)
    Wild by Cheryl Strayed: From Lost to found on the Pacific Crest Trail
    Inferior by Angela Saini: The true power of women and the science that shows it
    The StoryTeller by Dave Grohl
     
    We also chatted about this book:
    Invisible Women - Caroline Criado Perez - Exposing data bias in a world designed for men
